Pleasant and Renew Associations of Past Days. To everyone present yesterday at the fiftieth jubilee homecoming celebration at the Mt. Pleasant Reformed church, near Henrietta in the central section of Morrisons cove, it will be treasured in their recollection as one of Jite's richest experiences. From many parts of Blair and Bedford counties and points as far, distant as Pittsburgh and Waynesboro, former parishioners came back to the old church to once more join of praise and attune their hearts to worship of the AllFather whose teachings they embraced by counsel of the good people who established this church, And by their fidelity and service made It to grow and flourish.

There was much of joy and sadness. Joy in the association of dear friends and sadness when the memory turned to the old pillars of the congregation who have gone before. Due respect WAS paid to the devoted dead by all the apeakers who were moved to reminiscent mood. They urged that it is the duty, of members of today to keep alight the of immortality which the fathers and mothers in the church have passed on to them.

P. S. Leinbach, D.

of Philadelphia, Rev. E. S. Noll of Herndon, and Rev. V.

D. Grubb. pastor of St. Paul's Reforined church of Juni. ata.

Perhaps no better demonstration of the efficiency of his' could have been given than was furnished by the special service of worship with which the young people's department opened the anniversary program. The boys and girls acquitted themselves so well and evidenced such interest and will to serve, that it is plain to be secn that they are trained to carry on the sacred principles and traditions of Christian work. For a half century or more the Mt. Pleasant congregation has been noted throughout the COVE for its splendid ainging.
